Do you want to get to know Rick a little better? Check out some of his favorite sites and his fellow comedians and friends.
COMICS:
Linda Belt
A fellow comic and a good friend. She has helped me tremendously throughout my career. One major drawback though is that she drives like she is 105.
Pat Oates
Another fellow comic. Pat can offend with the best of them yet somehow the crowd still likes him.
Ashley Strand
A friend and fellow comic. We have done many shows together and he is a great guy. He also has the name of a girl and has a degree in drama....hmmm
Rick Roberts
Another friend and fellow comic. This guy is always a crowd pleaser. He also has a license to practice law so don't get on his bad side.
Chuck Mignanelli
This is one high energy funny bastard!! If you want funny while getting a workout from laughing so hard then this is your guy. On a side note he likes to travel with possibly homosexual men......so ladies change him...men embrace him...haha!!!

Goods & Services:
Eccentric Custom Printing
Go see Shelly for your printing needs. Great quality at an affordable price.
The Bod Coach
Personal training at its finest from Mr. Natural Connecticut Karl Baumgart. I used to give him daily beatings in high school wrestling practice. I like to think that because of that I’m responsible for his fondness for prancing around in leopard print speedos on stage now. Seriously he looks amazing these days and he can help you too.
Brooks Sigler
So this is my favorite author not named Stephen King! This is her first book and a wonderful coming of age story about an Irish Catholic kleptomaniac. How is that for appealing??? Check out Ms. Sigler...you won't be disappointed!!
